"My comment is that in actual version (0.1.2.436): The statusBar doesn't show the number of records for a main category with subcategories. Maybe a solution to this bug could be to execute in the serverside script a similar function as
> "tep_count_products_in_category" present in ./includes/functions/general.php (l.447)"

And we answered:

I've checked that function. I think I might do the same server-side if it is the only solution. I think I can use a simple SQL join to get all that information without using recursive calls (like tep_count_products_in_category do). Then the OSCPMWin application could assign each count to each category record.
